Official epic warfares patched!

You beat me to it!

[nohairs]

Yay. Thanks to all who've been working on this!

[Flak]

Yes, thank you Bubba!

Got my server patched and was able to create the server "user" and p/w fine. Also, updated my own client and can see my server on the list but don't see many other DM servers. Seemed like only about 10 were visible. Beer Drinkers isn't done yet? Couldn't see it.

I'm trying to be patient but after patching my server via the built-in option at NFO, it still is not showing up in the server lists with a patched client. In fact, M^rty's C^rn^ge server was the only DM server listed. There were about 8 TDM.

Apologize if this has already been addressed, but you have to already have your game updated to UT3's 2.1 patch before applying this patch. I recently got a new build with Windows 8 and hadn't reinstalled all the previous patches yet, and the new patch was crashing without the 2.1 update. Worked afterwards.

Also, why can't we register nicks with symbols? My previous gamespy user name was Infra`, but when I tried that just now it said it was an invalid user name b/c of the "`".

Edit: did not mean to imply having to install each previous patch, just have to install 2.1

It's showing up, along with several other DM servers. Must have been a temporary hiccup.

This is correct about the 2.1 patch, it has been discussed but I will edit the original post to show it. Thanks for reminding me. Not sure about the symbols.

Glad it's showing now, I have noticed that some do take longer to show than others for some reason.

Odd. Not sure, if a dot counts as a symbol here, but I got one in my nick and it worked fine when I created my account for UT3.

There are some rumors around the net, that after May 31st, gamespy services will be shut down and therefore stats will no longer be updated. However, today is June 2nd and I can login with my old nick via old launcher, and I can see all of the unpatched servers, I can play on them and furthermore I can see my stat elo changing. I am admin of 10 servers in UT3 and I don't know what to do. Shall I patch the servers or not?

If you have a lot of players that are still unpatched, maybe it is good option to wait until gamespy goes down completely. Then you and players have no other choice than install patch if they want to see your servers in the list or you want your servers be listed in the game browser.

Btw, it is not a rumor, sooner or later it happends.

If you have some sort of server message on your server, I suggest to replace the messages by a warning that Gamespy is shutting down and that as soon as it is down, they should patch their game.

ServerAdverts is a good mutator to run, you can keep your clients up-to-date while they're playing, adding a note to the MOTD wouldn't hurt either.

Problem solved, had to patch again and then replaced the executable.

ut3-bin for Linux does not work for me...

~/ut3-server/Binaries$ ./ut3-bin
Segmentation fault

Original does work!
